Abstract

How many people do you know have physical characteristics that match their personality? The idea that a personality and the way a person looks are connected is not new. Illustrators and animators have been capitalizing on it in their work for decades. However, it has just been since the last half of this century that this concept has really taken hold. This idea intrigued me so much that I spent two semesters of my educational experience at Brigham Young University researching, interviewing and learning about the subject.
